What does it take to run a single Unreal Engine 5 foundation across multiple in-vehicle and web surfaces across automotive programs?
Recorded at Unreal Fest Chicago 2026, this session by RV Tech (the joint venture between Rivian and Volkswagen Group) breaks down the architecture, tradeoffs, and hard-won lessons behind making it work at automotive scale.
RV Tech is building a foundation for scalable, high-fidelity 3D visualization, enabling consistent and engaging experiences across web configurators, in-vehicle software, and diverse interactive experiences for multiple OEMs.
The talk focuses on practical patterns: how RV Tech defines a common UI and data contract across programs, how they scale content variants without exploding complexity, and how they keep teams aligned as they ship new vehicles and experiences.
Watch to see how a “one engine, many surfaces” strategy enables an automotive JV to evolve quickly without sacrificing stability, while avoiding program-specific forks that are hard to maintain.
